The proposed series is scheduled to start from 2021.
This idea is seen as an attempt the thwart ICC’s idea of holding an ICC event every year, which according to other boards, will eat into the revenue generated from bilateral series. The annual tournament, proposed by the BCCI, will involve the "big three" — India, England and Australia — besides a fourth team.
"Nothing is concrete yet", Ganguly clarifies on proposed four-nation ODI Super Series
Now the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has admitted to being in talks with BCCI over this proposed series. "We meet regularly with other leaders from the major cricketing nations to share learnings and discuss topics that impact our sport. A four-nation tournament was raised at a meeting with the BCCI in December and we are open to discussions with other ICC members to see if this concept can develop,” the ECB said in a statement given to ESPNCricinfo.
The proposed event will be held starting in 2021 and will be hosted on a rotational basis. But this has divided opinions, with the involved teams set to earn big money. The ICC doesn't approve tournaments involving more than three teams, which are not part of its own multi-lateral roster.
BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has already spoken about the tournament, the ECB too has acknowledged the discussion that took place earlier this month but Cricket Australia is yet to comment on the subject.
